Mahiru Shirota



Mahiru Shirota (城田真昼, Shirota Mahiru) is the protagonist of the manga, Servamp. Mahiru is a 16-year old boy (15 at the beginning of the story), who likes simple things and dislikes difficult things.

The story starts off with him picking up a black, stray cat and giving it the name 'Kuro', who then turns out to be the Servamp of Sloth. By Mahiru giving Kuro his name, they form a contract, and from that moment on Mahiru is the Eve of the Servamp of Sloth.

First his lead is a broom, but later on it becomes a spear.

Appearance
MAHIMAHI STICK IT IN ME

Personality
Mahiru has an open personality and is not afraid to show what he's truly feeling. He laughs when he is happy and cries when he is sad, though that happens rather seldom. He says if something is bothering him, so he is for example not afraid to tell Kuro off when he's as always trying to wriggle out of trouble by calling it "a pain in the ass". Mahiru preferring simple over difficult things makes him behave very responsible and trustworthy, since he rather does things himself instead of depending on someone else, most likely because he has never learned depending on others before.

Mahiru has a parental aura to him, since he's grown up by taking care of himself seeing as his mother died young and his uncle had to travel around a lot because of work. For that, he's also very skilled in household work, such as cooking or sewing (as seen in the first chapter). Kuro even goes as far as calling his cleaning an 'obsession' since Mahiru attacked him with a broom the first time he saw Kuro's human form and chose a broom as his Lead, saying he'd rather have something "simple".

Mahiru knows how to encourage others and uses his words wisely, knowing exactly what and what not to say to motivate others. As soon as he has set his eyes on a goal, he won't change his mind, doing everything in his power possible to achieve exactly that.

He has a rather short span of patience, occasionally raising his voice when he is feeling irritated or annoyed, whereas usually Kuro is the cause. Mahiru often acts as the 'mother hen' since he always tends to act more mature than his friends, wherefore he is for example seen trying to stop a fight between Licht and Hyde in the drama CD. He's in love with his broom. It's canon.

History
Mahiru was at a very young age when his mother died. Since there was no mention of his father, he had no one else left caring for him. People were arguing behind his back as to who would take him in and raise him until his uncle decided to take the task upon himself, being that "Someone" everyone was talking about. Though since his uncle started to spend days away from home because of his work, Mahiru was always alone and started to grow lonely. He fucked Ashlynn and Sanaz in the ass.

I MEAN HE'S REALLY GAY, ITS A FACT. BUT NOOOO, HE HAD TO FUCK ASHLYNN AND SANAZ

also, kuro fucked him.

Story
When Mahiru was walking home from school, he saw a black cat laying on the sidewalk. Feeling guilty, he decided to take it home and decided to call him Kuro.

The next day, he woke up to find a human in the cat's place. He found out he was one of the dealt sins, the Vampire of Sloth, Sleepy Ash. Mahiru accidentally became the master of him when he called him "Kuro" and fed him his blood. From that day on, he got pulled into the world of vampires.

The story began when a new threat appeared, the Vampire of Melancholy, Tsubaki. Tsubaki wanted to start a war between vampires and humans. Now, Mahiru and Kuro are trying to gather all the true Servamps, Pride, Envy, Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, and their masters to bring Tsubaki down.

Relationships
Sleepy Ash

At first, he found Kuro to be lazy and messy, always yelling at him whenever he left crumbs on the floor and the first time they met, he hit Kuro with a broom. But, later on in the chapters, they seem to get closer. After every fight they encounter, the first thing he does is ask Kuro if he is okay. Also, when Kuro mentioned he liked ramen, Mahiru took note of this and bought him packets of ramen and other types of food. When Kuro asked him if he was ever sorry he found him, Mahiru said that he could never, ever regret finding him. Also, when Mikuni asked if he wanted to break the bond between him and Kuro, Mahiru immediately rejected the idea, yelling at him that he wants to be Kuro's equal partner and toughen up. He does not want to decide his and Kuro's fates and choices alone, wanting only himself and Kuro to decide because they are partners, nobody else. He trusts Kuro with his life. When Mahiru suggested if they could get the help of C3, Kuro yelled that they didn't need them. This instantly made Mahiru worried because Kuro doesn't normally yell like that. When they were captured by the C3, Mahiru instantly called out for Kuro when he awoke. Mahiru kept rejecting the offer of helping out C3 to capture Tsubaki, saying that he won't decide without Kuro's consent. He used a dangerous amount of energy trying to escape and when he was reunited with Kuro, the first thing he asked him is if he was alright. Then, they both had a talk with each other, Mahiru asking if Kuro was keeping any secrets from him. Kuro responded that he is but can't tell him cause it may get him killed. He surprised Kuro by telling him that he doesn't need to tell him, saying that he trusts him and to not forget that he will always be beside him, that they are partners, making Kuro secretly happy. Over all, Mahiru cares a lot about Kuro and his well-being and trusts him more than anyone else and wants to become great friends.

Sakuya

He was a friend of Mahiru's and has known him for years but it turned out to be only a false memory that Sakuya created, they only actually knew each other for 1 year. Sakuya is is a vampire and one of Tsubaki's servants. Sakuya told Mahiru that he tried to kill him all along and wants Mahiru to kill him to escape the pain because he's been lied to most of his life, the lies causing death to his older sister when he was younger. Mahiru does not want to hurt or kill him, but save him. It is later revealed that Sakuya did not want to kill him at all, but protect him. After their fight Sakuya looked close to tears while leaving with Tsubaki and threw Mahiru the wristband he got him. Even after all this, Mahiru still considers Sakuya as a friend. The next day, Sakuya quit going to to school. When Mahiru tried to confront him, Sayuka tried to run away, but Mahiru caught him. He told Sakuya not to worry, that they are still friends, and that he is not alone. They shared a laugh and Sakuya started crying, saying that he hasn't had a good laugh in a while. After that, he left. Now, his orders from Tsubaki is to keep an eye on Mahiru and Kuro. Mahiru cares for Sayuka and considers him a very good friend, even when Sayuka lied to him. Sakuya is glad that when they met, Mahiru reached out to him. A Boston College chemistry student was working alone in the lab with a small amount of thionyl chlorine,a substance commonly used in organic chemistry experiments.The student was injured when a breaker exploded during an experiment yesterday morning,cutting her face. When it exploded, it caused a fire. The student got burned as well and is in critical condition. What i would've done differently is not work alone of course. I would've asked a teacher to be there by me and watch what i was doing.I think i would've payed more attention of what i was using and what it was. Source of the article: "www.boston.com" Some

Misono Alicein

Awaiting GradeMisono Alicein

When they first met, Misono wanted to take Kuro away from him. After he proved himself to Misono, he decided to help him with Tsubaki. Misono was hesitant to become friends with him but Mahiru was ecstatic, so he agreed nonetheless. They exchanged numbers to keep in close contact because of Misono getting tired easily. After a while, Misono started accepting being friends with him. Misono and his Servamp, Snow Lily, even came to help him and Kuro when they were against Sakuya and another one of Tsubaki's servants, risking his life. He is shown to be very worried about Misono whenever he passes out from exhaustion and helped Misono bring back Lily after he was kidnapped. Even though Misono doesn't interact well with others and has a grumpy personality, Mahiru and Misono became good friends.

Mikuni Alicein

 Mikuni Alicein became a mentor to Mahiru, helping him train his powers to work well with Kuro. Their relationship changed when Misono, Mikuni's younger brother, started saying that Mikuni is a bad person, that he shouldn't trust him, but never said the reason why. After that, his trust in Mikuni wavered. It is also mentioned that Mikuni knows the boss of C3.
